Chapter 548 Promise
He had spent a lot of effort over the years in order to find the small Gobi town that my grandfather had mentioned.Later, although I heard rumors about the Devil City from Hu Shang, the Devil City was indeed mysterious and unpredictable, and many of the people he sent out were caught in it.

However, Huangtian paid off. In the past two years, he finally found some clues from the Xibo people, and he followed the melon to find a stronghold of the Devil City people in Shazhou City.

It's a pity that although the location of the Devil City has been found, it is still difficult for outsiders like them to get in.

Now he suddenly heard this person say that the Devil's City might be the place where the shrine is located. He was stunned at first, and then he understood.

No wonder it’s so difficult for outsiders to enter that devilish city...

Although he was not proficient in mystical arts, he also knew that there were many evil ways in the palace that disturbed the peace of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Using magic to hide the small town seemed like a fantasy to him, but in the hands of those capable people, it may not be impossible.

However...he narrowed his eyes slightly, it was the Divine Palace. To achieve this, I'm afraid it would take a huge amount of manpower, material resources, and mental effort.

This devil city must be an unusual temple stronghold.

He looked at Xiao Lingjiang, his eyes slightly deepened: "I heard that in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the power of the Shrine Palace has been eradicated one after another, but the Lord of the Shrine Palace is still missing. This Devil City... is where the Lord of the Shrine Palace is. place?"

Xiao Lingjiang nodded, stroking his palms and praised: "Your Excellency is really quick in thinking. If my information is correct, the base of the shrine must be here."

She looked at the other party's white smiling face and said bluntly: "To tell you the truth, I am here to eradicate the temple. I think you also want to get rid of the devil city and then quickly, why don't you and I join forces? How about cooperation?”

The white-faced knight's heart moved slightly: "Are you from the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

Xiao Lingjiang stood with his hands behind his hands and nodded with a slight smile: "Indeed."

Seeing her readily admitting it, the white-faced knight couldn't tell what it felt like.

Shazhou has been in the hands of Xifan for a long time. Over the years, the people have been looking forward to the day when Zhou Dynasty will send his troops to the west and regain Shazhou, so that many remaining people can return to their homeland.

However, more than ten years have passed, and Shazhou seems to have been forgotten. The survivors of the Zhou Dynasty can only survive under the bullying and humiliation of the Xifan people...

Now, the Zhou imperial court actually sent people to Shazhou?

He couldn't help but sneer: "If it weren't for the palace's headquarters here, the Zhou Dynasty might have forgotten that there is a Shazhou here, right?"

There was a smile on the mask, but the sarcasm and sorrow and anger in his words were already beyond words.

Xiao Lingjiang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

They were obviously common people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but once the city was lost, the country fell, and countless compatriots were massacred, those who were lucky enough to survive could only survive under the iron cavalry of Xibo.This kind of pain is naturally not something that inexperienced people can understand.

At the beginning of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the two states of Song and Sha were not long after the current emperor ascended the throne and faced internal and external troubles.

In the following ten years, although he worked hard to govern, there were Xibo and Beidi outside, and evil ways in the palace were secretly causing trouble. Although the Zhou Dynasty was a large country in the Central Plains, it was still difficult to spare the effort to regain the two states of Songsha.

After all, once this happens, it will be a formal war against Tibet.

The throne of the emperor was not easy to come by, and the peace in the Great Zhou was also rare. Although he lost the two states of Songsha, the people in the entire Great Zhou at least seemed to be living and working in peace and contentment, and he could be praised as the king.

If a war is started rashly, no one can predict what the consequences will be.Naturally he would rather keep the status quo.

At the time of the marriage with Xibo, some courtiers proposed to take the opportunity to take back the two states of Songsha, but Gongji blocked it with other benefits. In addition, the emperor wanted to use the marriage to get rid of Xiao Lingjiang and the He family, so he This matter will not be mentioned.

Later, the prince took charge of the government on behalf of the Holy Spirit, but the peace treaty had already been signed. At this time, bringing up the matter of Songsha and Shazhou would not only fail to achieve the goal, but also make the other party wary.

For more than ten years, the Zhou Dynasty has not been able to regain the lost territory. The people of the two states are disappointed and angry. Xiao Lingjiang understands that even she is inevitably dissatisfied with the Zhou court's move.

The proposal to take back the two Songsha states with the help of a marriage alliance was not feasible, but after making an agreement with the marriage alliance, she had other ideas in mind.

It was inevitable that Xifan and his party would go, and she wanted to use this opportunity to explore Xifan, so she might not be able to take advantage of the opportunity to advance the recovery of the two states.

"Songsha and two states are the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the people are the remnants of the Great Zhou Dynasty. How can the Great Zhou Dynasty be forgotten? The land is lost and the people are bullied. How can the Great Zhou Dynasty dare to forget it?" Xiao Lingjiang looked at the white-faced knight and said solemnly, "One day, the Great Zhou Dynasty will be able to regain the lost land and bring thousands of remnants back to their homeland."

"Ha." The white-faced knight sneered when he heard this, "What you said sounds good. To regain the lost land and return to the motherland... Is it with you guys or with the Zhou Dynasty court that has been silent for a long time?"

"I heard that Zhou Dynasty and Xibo have already made an alliance and sent Princess Yong'an to Xibo to make peace. Princess Yong'an said she was assassinated and is now resting leisurely in Liangzhou. The two countries have good relations, but there is no one there at all. Have you thought about the plight of the people in Songsha and Shazhou..."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but feel a bit of sadness and indignation in his heart. He looked at Xiao Lingjiang with a pair of eyes, full of sarcasm: "The imperial court is indifferent to the people of Shazhou, you? You are just a pawn, why should you do anything?" This promise?”

Xiao Lingjiang sighed softly.

She had a somewhat clear understanding of the white-faced knight.This man had extraordinary skills and was dedicated to protecting the people of Shazhou. He was naturally dissatisfied with Zhou's delay in regaining the lost territory and his subsequent reconciliation with Xibo.

Recovering Shazhou does not take a few days.If you want to make a promise, I'm afraid no one will dare to give it.

However, she, Xiao Lingjiang, has never been the kind of person who is timid and retreats.

Since she was determined to get involved in the court and gain some power, she was also prepared to bear the burden.The people of Zhou Dynasty were still suffering at the hands of the Tibetan people, how could she ignore them?
Xiao Lingjiang took out a token from his arms and said solemnly: "Promises are easy to make, but hard to keep. Even if I say nothing, you won't believe it. Just one sentence, as long as I, Xiao Lingjiang, are here, the court will I will definitely try my best to regain the Songsha Prefecture and restore peace to the people in the two prefectures."

Xiao Lingjiang?
The white-faced knight was stunned at first, and then his eyes suddenly trembled: "Princess Yong'an Xiao Lingjiang?"

Under the cold moonlight, I saw the word "Yong'an" engraved on the identity token.

He looked at the thin black businessman in front of him, the face behind the mask was full of disbelief.

How could Princess Yong'an, who was said to be recuperating in Liangzhou, take the risk and come to Shazhou under the rule of the Tibetan people, and become so ugly?

Although he couldn't see his face, Xiao Lingjiang could still sense the suspicion in his tone and the disgust in his eyes.

She touched her cheek and shrugged helplessly: "You know how to disguise yourself? If I were wearing Xiao Lingjiang's face, I wouldn't be able to reach the border of Shazhou, right?"

The white-faced knight still couldn't believe it, but if anyone in Zhou Dynasty dared to hold up this token and pretend to be Princess Yong'an, I'm afraid there is no one.

He was hesitating in his heart when a figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the alley. He didn't know how long this person had been lurking nearby.
The white-faced knight's eyes flashed, and he immediately attacked the man.
